500,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!! It's hard to believe that there are so many of you here, you are an absolutely incredible community!! To thank you all here is another one of the most requested pieces to be performed on the channel, and with this one we also welcome the third pianist to the channel, Tae-Seung Park. As one of Chopin's most difficult pieces, with one of the most misleading introductions, it's amazing to realize that behind the insane difficulty is also an insanely beautiful piece, and this is why Chopin's Etudes were such a big deal during his time - he revolutionized the Etude.

Literally the definition of "I can play the first few bars".

Tf kind of winter wind did chopin have a blizzard

as a pianist, i cried by just looking at the score of this piece

Chopin: “Listen to this new piece I’ve been working on.” Some guy: “That sounds easy” Chopin: “and i took that personally”

this piece is the BEST for those “oh you play the piano? show me” moments I swear

0:00- 0:21 me about to sleep 0:22: Spotify premium ad

This is what makes people fall in love with piano.

Thank you so much Rousseau for teaching me how to play! I can proudly say that I memorized 0:00 - 0:18

Hey Chopin, I only have two hands.

*this is the kind of wind that throws you off a cliff*

This is the calmest Chopin etude! -10 seconds later- AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This piece LITERALLY describes the phrase "if you can play slowly you can play quickly"

Cat: runs on piano Chopin: Write that down! Write that down!

Mozart - makes people cry Beethoven - makes pianists cry Chopin - makes the piano and the pianists both cry

every chopin piece ever: hey this is easy its ju-HOLY GODS IN HEAVEN HAVE MERCY UPONMY SOUL

Winter Wind is so beautiful. This is my favorite piece by Chopin because of the amount of emotion put into this. It’s actually crazy. I get chills almost every time I listen to this. I do tend to learn this piece in the future but right now, I’m still working on my journey of becoming a professional pianist like you, Rousseau. :)

One day on simply piano: 0:04 Two days on simply piano: 0:12 Three days on simply piano: 0:21

0:21 *_Top ten greatest beat drops of all time_*

0:42 That low C gave me chills

I've been practicing this piece for years and I'm proud to say I have finally mastered this piece... I mean, at least the first few notes.

"I paid for the whole piano, I'm going to use the whole piano"

They had us in the first 21 seconds, not gonna lie.

The visualization really added an essential element for me. I could finally relate the hands with the music. It really does make you realize how much practice is necessary to perform the piece with no errors

00:00 me sleeping 00:21 my alarm at 6 a.m.

"Red and yellow. Anger and solitude"

Man his fingers are so fast, there's smoke coming out of them.

THIS GUY CAN PLAY ANYTHING WTF

me: plays etude op 25 no 11 my friends: that's ok me:plays giorno theme with 5 notes my friends: 🤯

The beginning is when you’re chilling on your phone. 0:21 is when you realize you have a project due tomorrow.

0:00 - 0:21 The Beginning of 2020 0:21 - 4:09 The first 3 months of 2020 Update: we're screwed for the whole year and probably ti'll next year.

3:00 that pause right before that sequence, so good

revolutionary, winter wind, and broken chord is hands down the best etudes chopin has ever made

*Does anyone just imagine themselves playing pieces like these and impressing people or is it just me-*

Fun fact: Chopin did not write the beginning. A friend suggested it to him.

it is also one of the pieces you can never hum. no matter how hard you try.

I just love how simple it is in the beginning and then it turns into literal hell. I can say this from experience, I played this a year ago and its one of the Chopin pieces that after I played it on a competition I said never again😂😂

Chopin has the paid version of piano everyone else is stuck on the free trial

Lyrics: 0:00 Daa da da daaa daaa daaa daa daaa 0:21 LINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLINGLING

Just finished this song last month on my own. It took me 2 years and I will say I am, at the very least, twice the pianist I was prior to learning it.

3:00OMG, I ADORE THIS PART!

The first bars are there to show that the piano works first before playing .

Interestingly, the origin of jumpscares is not from a horror movie.

I remember when I was just a student looking for a piano in a shop and then someone just started playing this master piece in front of me, he was amazing! So I just leave the idea to be a profesional and I bough a flute ✌️

This is my favorite classical piece!

Because Chopin forgot that we only have 10 fingers

I promise myself, i will play this oneday.

This song is like a marriage, starts off peaceful then… BOOM. The fighting starts. Then at the end, silence.

This piece never fails to make me cry😂

Left hand: u okay there? Right hand: no, I’m dying, could I get some help? Left hand: naw, good luck 1:42 Right hand: *revenge is mine*

My fingers while I'm watching: *Snap out of it. You're a violinst*

Got here by searching: easiest chopin piano pieces💀

2:36 to the iconic intro, is so good

Poor Chopin, he must have experienced a few blizzards to get this impression of a winter wind..

"finally an easy piano piece I can play this" 21 seconds later: ok I'll just sell my piano online

The 4 bars in piano history that make you breath the air on Mt. Olympus. Followed by a ruthless lesson on the meaning of ”knowing your place“

0:04 finally a Rousseau piece that I can play :) 0:21 oh......

me trying to learn this in a month: my fingers: no my sleep schedule: no my grades: no

My friend when i play this: stop pressing random notes My friend when i play fur elise: omg you are so talented

Sometimes we can't even say something, just feel it quiet. Truly amazing how this could be even possible to be played.

Congrats on 5 million Rousseau, always in envy of you, keep it up man

I remember hearing this for the first time. I was like "yeah that's a nice calm opening..." then I fell off my chair. Same thing happened with the 2nd ballade. Should invest in a more secure chair tbf.

“Piano is the easiest to learn, but the hardest to master.”

This is my first time listening and I spilled my drink in the beginning

my favorite chopin piece definitely

I set this as my ringtone. Now I wake up.

This is where the modern “beat drop” came from

I feel like Chopin was that kid who mashed every key in thinking it sounded good so when he grew up he started doing it but professionally

Winter wind is forever lovked into my head as the tune melody that begins playing right before youre about to realize something devastating. Good job.

This is incredible. This guy has basically the level of a concert pianist, and being able to watch him play the piano from above is a real chance. Thanks KZfaq, and thanks Rousseau! No wonder the 550k subs in 7 months!

What you learn in class: 0:04 What you get as homework: 0:12 What you see on the exam: 0:21

4 minutes of total ecstasy with the jaw dropped, rushing with a mix of joy and disbelief ! Exactly that. Unbelievable!

3:23 is gold

3:28 Chopin really invented the bass drop

1:42 Even Chopin's right arm needed a break.

i have never listened to this before and 0:21 gave me chills bro omg

I used to watch your videos and think playing piano is easy but then I started learning it's hard...respect to you...everybody keep learning...

"I pay for the whole piano, I use the whole piano" -Chopin, most probably.

0:02 oh this song seems pretty easy, I wanna learn it. 0:22

The first 20 seconds are allright and you're concentrating to hear the beautiful sound. Until you experience a heartattack at 0.21 as a result of that unreal drop.

I have come to treasure these wonderfully beautiful pieces. I close my eyes as I listen and that unrequited dream of being a classical pianist is some how soothed as it gets vicariously lived out here. Thank you Rousseau for sharing this beautiful music, this balm to the soul. All the best to you. May God bless you.

“Red and Yellow. Her anger, and her loneliness.”

Imagine if he missed a single note and had to record everything again.

Awhile ago, I said that I'd be able to learn this one day... And after countless hours and practice day after day, I have confirmed That I still cannot play it

2:34 part is gold.

Level 1: easy Level 2: medium Level 3: hard Level 4: insane Level 5: Rousseau messes up

I watched Your Lie In April and when I listened to Emi play this masterpiece I was shocked in the beginning. Once I found it I played it on repeat for hours. ‘Winter wind’ inspired me to become a pianist I begged my parents to buy a piano and it came 2 weeks ago and this will be the first song I learn on it. I never had determination for anything like this before.

I love you Chopin for creating such perfection!

Man, Chopin’s music is filled with such emotion it’s insane

me imagining that i can play this and wow everyone

This piece is really emotional, you can hear it screaming to you.

Imagine not liking this not just a masterpiece, but there is no word to describe how wonderful this piece is

0:00 - Me looking at the screen because Rousseau uploaded a new video 0:21 - Me falling down the stairs

I love how when you type easiest Chopin pieces, this comes up

Chopin really be trolling with that intro!

The chords progression in the first minute is mind blowing.

Chopin: peacefully playing piano A cat from nowhere: comes and jumps on piano Chopin: damn, that sounds good

the people who disliked this video are the ones who have to practice this piece

every time i listen to this piece it brings tears to my eyes its remarkable im truly in love with this piece

Absolutly Amazing
